A picturesque town perched high in the Blackall Ranges
Maleny is only 93 kilometres north of Brisbane, 30 kilometres from the coast and around 450 metres above sea level. With a population of around 4,000, it keeps the charm of a small country town while acting as a hub for the 10,000 people living in its environs. Once a provider of timber and dairy, it is now a leading destination for tourists and one of Australia’s preferred locations for weddings.

Why people love Maleny
Before the first European settlement in the 1870s, the area was home to the Nalbo and Dallambara peoples. After settlement it became known for cedar and other valued timbers, then for quality dairy. The famous Maleny Dairy remains a reminder of the past, while the town now enjoys a reputation as a destination for tourists and day-trippers.
Along with town living around Maple Street, many locals enjoy acreage across North Maleny, Reesville, Witta, Curramore and Booroobin, and over the scenic ridges to Montville.
